Worthington Schools is partnering with Worthington Industries to prepare students for jobs within the manufacturing industry after graduation. The goal is to create a pathway for students who do not plan to attend a two or four-year institution directly out of high school, but would like to go straight into the workforce. During students' senior year, they will work directly with Worthington Industries to gain exposure to the company and acquire career-ready skills.
The attached flier features more information about this exciting partnership opportunity.
For the school year, the class times and Work Schedule will vary depending on the selected location.
There will be a district-wide information session for all Worthington families interested in learning more in the Worthington Industries Workforce Experience Partnership program. The information session will take place at WKHS on Thursday, September 28th at 6:30pm. The meeting will be held in the WKHS Auditorium. There will also be a field trip for all interested Worthington students on Friday, October 6th. Permission slips are required.
Here is a video highlighting the opportunities available through the Worthington Industries Workforce Experience Program.
Juniors and seniors have unlimited opportunities to attend these sessions with teacher permission. If a visit is scheduled during a time when you have a class, you should get your teacher's approval in advance of attending the information session. You are responsible for all missed work and teachers are not supposed to excuse you from tests, quizzes and labs. The Counseling Center secretaries will be able to give you a pass back to class after you have finished meeting with the college representative.
The WKHS Counseling Department newsletters are sent out monthly to share information to be helpful for our students and their families.
